I Am the Swarm

His original idea was that when facing the enemy, he would shout: "The holy F2 links us, bugs, go."

Then there is the endless sea of ​​insects, flooding the enemy like billowing red dust.

Now it seems that this idea can only exist in the mind for the time being. According to the current situation, it is not known whether there will be a day when it will be realized.

In the end, Rowan, who was a little upset and irritable after the feeding work, simply bit off a small tree root with great effort, picked it up, linked it to the mother's nest, and dragged them back to the underground cave.

Back in the cave, he stuffed one end of the tree root into the absorber of the brood. Because the tree root was longer, most of it leaked out. But that's it, let the brood digest it slowly.

Luo Wen praised his wit. Although the absorption and transformation efficiency of the brood would be slower by doing so, he saved a lot of effort, didn't he?

In the next few days, Rowan didn't go anywhere, and he planned to build a nest here temporarily.

He enlarged the temporarily dug underground cave several times, and then dug dozens of various passages, some leading to the surface, some leading to the surrounding unknown areas, and some leading to deeper underground.

He also dug some small houses in the middle or at the end of some passages. Although they are not used for the time being, they are still idle. And some passages end in a dead end, which is purely confusing.

Among them, several passages are extraordinarily spacious, which are used to transfer the mother nest in case of emergency, and he has arranged many fork roads on it.

During the period, when I was hungry, I took the nest to find tree roots to drink some juice, and bit off a piece of tree root for the nest to slowly absorb. When tired, they sleep next to the brood.

When he woke up from the first rest, he also gained a new ability, which can secrete a kind of mucus from his mouth, which can be used to stick the soil together and make them stronger.

Doesn't this fucking want him to come out of the ground? Evolving so many abilities to dig holes in the ground?

But it's always good to have one more ability. He checked with the brood and found that it was a gene fragment of that kind of black ants. It seemed that they were also good at digging burrows.

Although he complained a few words, after acquiring the new ability, he enthusiastically redecorated and glued the room where the brood nest was stored to make it stronger, although it took a bit of mouthwatering.

In a few days, the mother nest that became a single individual obviously grew several times. Rowan wondered if it was filling its own pockets and secretly using the energy that would give birth to bugs for self-development.

So much so that with the current size of the brood, it is a bit difficult for Rowan to drag it. If this went on like this, his spacious escape routes would all be in vain.

After careful inspection, he found that this matter was still his fault.

The first bug he wanted to hatch was based on the black armor "God of War", and he added digging legs to it, and replaced its two short tentacles with long tentacles with better signal, so that It reduces the chance of being successfully sneaked.

It's a pity that in this way, the required materials and energy will increase rapidly, and this is not the most important thing.

The crux of the problem is that the black-armored "God of War" is more than ten times larger than Rowan, and if the brood that escaped from Rowan wants to directly hatch a black-armored "God of War", it must first hatch its own It has to grow to be bigger than it.

Knowing the truth of the matter, Luo Wen secretly scolded why the brood's operation mode is so rigid, wouldn't it be more flexible? The energy of feelings these days is really pocketed by it.

It's just that the brood is now a production and processing base, more like a machine, and it has no intention of pleasing the boss at all, and of course it won't persuade Luo Wen. Don't raise me if you have the ability, just throw me here to fend for myself, the brood is like this now.

In the end, of course, Luo Wen was persuaded, he couldn't give up the brood.

Quickly corrected the wrong instructions, and hatched a reduced version of the black armor "God of War" with the current size of the brood.

During the recent period, while digging the tunnel, Rowan also checked the surrounding area, but found no threat. So he didn't pay close attention to the mother's nest at first, he took it wherever he went. And now the size of the brood does not allow him to do so.

So he simply dug another secret room on the side of the big room, hid the mother's nest in it, and left a small opening that he could barely get in and out of. He glued a door with saliva to come out, and every time he went out, he blocked the door on the small opening, and then sealed it with saliva.

After a few times, his craftsmanship has been so perfect that it is not obvious from the outside.

Luo Wen pondered, why is he so talented in things related to digging?

Rowan discovered that a larger brood actually has some advantages. For example, it eats tree roots much faster and converts energy more efficiently.

In this case, isn't the bigger the brood the better? He was a little hesitant, no matter how big the brood was, he couldn't drag it.

Fortunately, it was enough for the time being, so he put this problem aside first, and planned to hatch some bugs to see the effect first, and then make other considerations.

After another two days, the brood finally accumulated enough energy to officially hatch the first worm.

The hatching time was longer than expected, and two days later, a black beetle exactly as Rowan imagined was "vomited" out by the brood.

However, perhaps "spray" would be more appropriate.

One side of the mother's nest was completely cracked, and then the bug was sprayed on the ground together with a lot of mucus.

Fortunately, Luo Wen made preparations in advance and enlarged the door of the room a lot, otherwise the black beetle would have been sprayed onto the wall.

After the black beetle was sprayed out, the brood quickly dried up as if it had leaked air, which frightened Rowan.

Shouldn't this thing be a one-off?

I quickly touched the brood to check the situation, and the result was worrying. Although the brood was not a one-off, the black beetles hatched this time had been seriously injured and needed to rest for a long time before they could continue to use it.

During the recuperation period, a large amount of energy supplement is also required.

Is the brood also confinement?

Rowan was a little depressed, two days to replenish energy, two days to hatch, and then a period of rest and recovery. According to this model, when can he accumulate the Zerg army in his mind?

Is this the power of the collective?

Unfortunately, this is not the strength of the collective, but a catastrophe on his way to the ultimate single body. This is trying to exhaust him to death in advance.

After paying so much and finally getting such a result, it's no wonder that Luo Wen couldn't accept it. However, he temporarily suppressed the depression in his heart, and turned to look at the newly born black beetle, hoping that it would not disappoint him.
